Amòs 3
1 Tande pawòl sa a ke SENYÈ a te pale kont nou menm, fis Israël yo; kont tout fanmi ke Li te mennen fè monte soti nan peyi Égypte la:
Sones of Israel, here ye the word which the Lord spak on you, and on al the kynrede, which Y ledde out of the lond of Egipt,
2 “Nou sèlman, Mwen te chwazi pami tout fanmi sou latè yo. Akoz sa, Mwen va pini nou pou tout inikite nou yo.”
and seide, Oneli Y knewe you of alle the kynredis of erthe; therfor Y schal visite on you alle youre wickidnessis.
3 Èske de mache ansanm, san yo pa antann yo?
Whether tweyne schulen go togidere, no but it acorde to hem?
4 Èske yon lyon va gwonde nan rak bwa san ke li pa kaptire yon bagay? Èske yon jèn ti lyon ka kriye deyò tanyè a san li pa pran anyen?
Whether a lioun schal rore in a forest, no but he haue prey? Whether the whelp of a lioun schal yyue vois fro his denne, no but he take ony thing?
5 Èske yon zwazo ka kenbe nan yon pèlen atè, si resò a pa t rale? Èske pèlen an ka vòltije sòti atè, san ke li gen yon bagay pou kenbe?
Whether a brid schal falle in to a snare of erthe, with outen a foulere? Whether a snare schal be takun awei fro erthe, bifor that it tak sum thing?
6 Èske twonpèt sone nan vil la, san pèp la p ap pè? Èske malè kon rive nan yon vil, san ke SENYÈ a ki fè l?
Whether a trumpe schal sowne in a citee, and the puple schal not drede? Whether yuel schal be in a citee, which yuel the Lord schal not make?
7 Anverite, SENYÈ a p ap fè anyen, san Li pa aveti sèvitè li yo, pwofèt yo.
For the Lord God schal not make a word, no but he schewe his priuyte to hise seruauntis profetis.
8 Yon lyon fin gwonde! Se kilès ki p ap pè? SENYÈ a fin pale! Se kilès ki ka refize pwofetize?
A lioun schal rore, who schal not drede? the Lord God spak, who schal not profesie?
9 Pwoklame sou sitadèl Asdod yo, ak sitadèl peyi Égypte yo. Di yo konsa: Rasanble nou sou mòn Samarie yo pou wè gwo zen ki anndan yo, ak opresyon ki nan mitan yo.
Make ye herd in the housis of Azotus, and in the housis of the lond of Egipt; and seie ye, Be ye gaderid togidere on the hillis of Samarye, and se ye many woodnessis in the myddis therof, and hem that suffren fals calenge in the priuy places therof.
10 “Paske yo pa konn fè sa ki dwat,” di SENYÈ a, “sila yo k ap kache piyaj yo ak sa yo ranmase nan palè pa yo.”
And thei kouden not do riytful thing, seith the Lord, and tresouriden wickidnesse and raueyn in her housis.
11 Pou sa, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Yon lènmi va ranvwaye peyi a. Li va rale desann barikad ou yo, episitadèl ou yo va piyaje.”
Therfor the Lord God seith these thingis, The lond schal be troblid, and be cumpassid; and thi strengthe schal be drawun doun of thee, and thin housis schulen be rauyschid.
12 Konsa pale SENYÈ a: Menm jan bèje a rache de janm soti nan bouch lyon an, oswa yon mòso zòrèy, konsa, fis Israël ki rete Samarie yo, alèz sou bèl mèb yo, ak kousen swa yo sou kabann nan, va vin chape.
The Lord God seith these thingis, As if a schepherd rauyschith fro the mouth of a lioun tweyne hipis, ether the laste thing of the eere, so the children of Israel schulen be rauyschid, that dwellen in Samarie, in the cuntrei of bed, and in the bed of Damask.
13 “Tande, e fè temwaye kont kay Jacob la,” di Senyè BONDYE a, Bondye dèzame yo.
Here ye, and witnesse ye in the hous of Jacob, seith the Lord God of oostis.
14 “Paske nan jou ke Mwen va vizite transgresyon Israël yo sou li, Mwen va anplis, vizite lotèl Béthel yo. Konsa, kòn lotèl yo va vin koupe retire nèt. Yo va tonbe atè.
For in the dai, whanne Y schal bigynne to visite the trespassyngis of Israel on hym, Y schal visite also on the auteris of Bethel; and the hornes of the auter schulen be kit awei, and schulen falle doun in to erthe.
15 Kay sezon livè a, Mwen va frape ansanm avèk kay sezon lete a. Kay livwa yo va vin peri, e gran mezon yo p ap la ankò,” di Senyè a.
And Y schal smyte the wynter hous with the somer hous, and the housis of yuer schulen perische, and many housis schulen be distried, seith the Lord.
